    In Algerian Shaba, we don't add all our spices. In the Algerian recipe, we only use pepper, paprika, and cinnamon. No small dots or maybe a small handful, but above all chickpeas. We can add a carrot, a zucchini, and a potato; Algerian show bas really loves coriander. (Chorba)

    Tried it and approved it. Simple, quick to make, and excellent; which doesn't hurt, my friends enjoyed it, we continued with my very first pastry; I’m doing it again tonight, thank you for this recipe.

    Thank you I find the recipe very good. I would like to thank the person who published this recipe. My suggestion: To make the recipe lighter, I chose not to include the fat in the middle of the recipe. Also, I added half a stick of cinnamon that I removed after 10 minutes... My mother adds cinnamon to her soup, but it's not necessary to do so because, as it is, the recipe is very good.

    Good recipe I am very happy with this recipe, it is very good. My husband (who is Moroccan) and my children are thrilled! My suggestion: You can remix it by replacing the peas with chickpeas, for example, but in any case, it is well spiced.

    Very good! I just made this recipe and the result is great! My husband told me it was as good as his mother's! Thank you! My suggestion: However, I didn't use any carrots, celery, peas, or clarified butter... I didn't have those ingredients at home. I added a small diced potato. It was really delicious!
